Why are Americans not paying attention to Comprehensive Immigration Reform?

The way Americans have completely tuned out ObamaCare, they are hardly paying any attention to the so-called Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013 (BSEOIM), a law that will allow 11 million illegal immigrants to become legal, right away give green cards to more than 4 million aliens whose applications have been pending due to limits on number of aliens who can be admitted each year, and bring even more cheap foreign labor through the H1B program.  A Pew poll found that just 19 percent of respondents were closely following the debate over the comprehensive immigration bill.  Most of those polled did not know about some of the immigration legislation's key aspects.
